Am
Just a little rush, babe
                     F
To feel dizzy, to derail the mind of me
Am
Just a little hush, babe
                           F
Our veins are busy but my heart's in atrophy

Dm   Am         C          G
Any way to distract and sedate
Dm      Am             F            C
Adding shadows to the walls of the cave

Chorus:
Am            Em        F                  C  Dm
You and I nursing on a poison that never stung
                               Em       Am
Our teeth and lungs are lined with the scum of it
Am                  Em        F
Some whiff of this death and guts
        C           Dm
We are deaf, we are numb
          Em                    Am
Free and young and we can feel none of it

Something isn't right, babe; I keep catching
Little words, but the meaning's thin
I'm somewhere outside my life, babe; I keep scratching
But somehow I can't get in

So we're slaves
To any semblance of touch
Lord, we should quit
But we love it too much

Chorus:
Sedated, we're nursing on a
Poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are lined
With the scum of it
Somewhere for this, death and guns
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we
Can feel none of it

C
Darlin', don't you, stand there watching, won't you
Em
Come and save me from it
C
Darlin', don't you, join in, you're supposed to
Em
Drag me away from it

Any way
To distract and sedate
Adding shadows
To the walls of the cave

Chorus:
You and I, nursing on a
Poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are lined
With the scum of it
Somewhere for this, death and guns
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we
Can feel none of it

Sedated, we're nursing on a
Poison that never stung
Our teeth and lungs are lined
With the scum of it
Somewhere for this, death and guns
We are deaf, we are numb
Free and young and we
Can feel none of it
